This reply could not fail to astonish the Spaniard, and create a feeling of disappointment. "Remember," said he, "remember, Don Augustin Pena; that you have engaged your word not only to me, not only to Tragaduros, but to a prince of the blood royal of Spain, from whose brow this apparently simple incident the caprice of a young girl may snatch a crown.
It was in fact the work of Mestre Nicolas, the Nicolas Chantranez who worked first at Belem and then on the Portal da Magestade at Santa Cruz, and who carved an altar-piece in the Pena chapel at Cintra.
